So does this mean we're on the mend?

[Michael Mc C]

The past couple of nights as my wife was getting ready to go into bed she would say good night and linger a bit. She walked up to me really slowly, in no apparent rush to go anywhere and had a very "close" look on her face (not sure how else to describe it). I would say good night back to her, feel the need/urge to kiss her, hug her, say I love you but did none of these.

Well tonight the same thing happened again. This time, however, I stood up and gave her a hug.

damn

She hugged me back but it was more like an arm around my back, no pressure, no holding, more of a "I can't wait until this is over" feel to it.

So, maybe I jumped the gun. Maybe I read too much into her behavior. Maybe she's feeling just as awkward as I am.

I did say (shame on me) "I guess I won't do that again." as she left the kitchen. She turned and said "Won't do what?"

I just gave her a quarter of a grin and didn't say anything. I believe she picked up on the disappointment.

Sometimes I feel like a 12 year old!!!
